So have you got her in 1881?

This looks possible:
Rg11 966 68 11
Boughton Blean
Stephen Harris 45 Farm lab bn Baldesmore
Ellen wife 25 bn Selling
Phoebe 17 bn Preston
Albert 11 bn Preston

(must be a second marriage fro Stephen)


Have you got Phoebe's marriage cert to see fathers name to confirm?

Marriage
Oct/Nov/Dec 1859
Faversham 2a 1059
Stephen Harris
one of brides - Ann Back


Marriage
Oct/Nov/Dec 1878
Faversham 2a 1410
Stephen Harris
both brides on page are Ellen!
Ellen Sampson or Ellen Rogers.

Looking at Betty's find, that could well be her.

But Phoebe's cert marriage would confirm her fathers name.

The Stephen Harris family may well be the wrong one altogether.
But I cant see another Phoebe Harris around.
